Exercise 20.1
 
Question 1: Find the curved surface area of a cone, if its slant height is 60 cm and the radius of its base is 21 cm. 
Solution:
Slant height of cone (l) = 60 cm
Radius of the base of the cone (r) = 21 cm
CSA of the right circular cone = πrl 
CSA of the right circular cone = 22/7 × 21 × 60 
CSA of the right circular cone = 3960 cm2
Hence, the CSA of the right circular cone is 3960 cm2
 
Question 2: The radius of a cone is 5cm and vertical height is 12cm. Find the area of the curved surface. 
Solution:
Radius of cone (r) = 5 cm
Height of cone (h) = 12 cm
l2 = r2 + h2
l2 = (5)2 +(12)2
l2 = 25 + 144 
l2 = 169
l = 13 cm
CSA of a cone = πrl 
CSA of a cone = 3.14 × 5 × 13 
CSA of a cone = 204.28
Hence, the CSA of the cone is 204.28 cm2
 
Question 3 : The radius of a cone is 7 cm and area of curved surface is 176 cm2. Find the slant height. 
Solution:
It is given that,
Radius of cone(r) = 7 cm
Curved surface area = 176cm2
CSA of a cone = πrl
176 = πrl
176 = 22/7×7×l 
(176×7)/(22×7)  =l 
8=l 
l=8 
Hence, the slant height of the cone is 8cm.
 
Question 4: The height of a cone 21 cm. Find the area of the base if the slant height is 28 cm. 
Solution:
It is given that,
Height of cone (h) = 21 cm
Slant height of cone (l) = 28 cm
r2=l2-h2 
r2  = (28)2  + (21) 
r2  = 282 – 212 
r= 7√7  cm 
Area of the circular base = πr2
Area of the circular base = 22/7  × (7√7 )2
Area of the circular base = 22/7  × 343
Area of the circular base = 1078cm2
Hence, the area of the base is 1078cm2.
 
Question 5: Find the total surface area of a right circular cone with radius 6 cm and height 8 cm. 
Solution:
It is given that,
Radius of cone (r) = 6 cm
Height of cone (h) = 8 cm
l2 = r2 + h2
l2 = 62+82
l2 = 36 + 64
l2 = 100
l = 10cm
TSA of the cone = CSA of cone + Area of circular base
TSA of the cone = πrl + πr2
TSA of the cone = (22/7×6×10)+ (22/7×6×6) 
TSA of the cone = 1320/7 + 729/7
TSA of the cone = 301.71cm2
Hence, the area of the base is 301.71cm2.
 
Question 6: Find the curved surface area of a cone with base radius 5.25 cm and slant height 10 cm. 
Solution:
Radius of the cone (r) = 5.25 cm
Slant height of the cone (l) = 10 cm
Curved surface area (CSA) = πrl
Curved surface area = 22/7 × 5.25 × 10
Curved surface area = 165
Hence, curved surface area of the cone is 165cm2.
 
Question 7: Find the total surface area of a cone, if its slant height is 21 m and diameter of its base is 24 m. 
Solution:
Diameter of the cone (d) = 24m
Radius of the cone(r) = diameter/2 = 224/2 m = 12m
Slant height of the cone (l) = 21m
TSA of cone = CSA of cone + Area of circular base
TSA of cone = πrl+ πr2
TSA of cone = (22/7×12×21)  + (22/7×12×12) 
TSA of cone = (22/7×252)  + (22/7×144)
TSA of cone = (5544/7)  + (3168/7)
TSA of cone = 792  + 453.57
TSA of cone = 1244.57
Hence, TSA of the cone is 1244.57m2.
 
Question 8: The area of the curved surface of a cone is 60 π cm2. If the slant height of the cone be 8 cm, find the radius of the base. 
Solution:
It is given that,
Curved surface area = 60π cm2
Slant height of the cone (l) = 8 cm
Curved surface area = πrl
πrl = 60π
r × 8 = 60
r = 60/8 
r = 7.5
Hence, radius of the base of the cone is 7.5 cm.
 
Question 9: The curved surface area of a cone is 4070 cm2 and diameter is 70 cm .What is its slant height? 
(Use π= 22/7) 
Solution:
It is given that,
Diameter of the cone (d) = 70 cm
Radius of the cone (r) = diameter/2 = 70/2 cm = 35 cm
Curved surface area = 4070 cm2
We know that, Curved surface area = πrl
Curved surface area = 4070
πrl = 4070 
22/7×35×l=4070 
22×5×l=4070 
110×l=4070 
l=4070/110 
l=37 
Hence, the slant height of cone is 37cm.
 
Question 10: The radius and slant height of a cone are in the ratio 4:7. If its curved surface area is 792cm2, find its radius. (Use π =22/7) 
Solution:
It is given that,
CSA of cone = 792 cm2
Ratio of Radius and slant height of a cone is 4:7
Let 4x be the radius and 7x be the height of cone.
CSA of cone = πrl
22/7 × (4x) × (7x) = 792
22/7 × 28x2 = 792
22 × 4x2 = 792
x2 = 9
x = 3
Radius = 4x 
Radius = 4(3) cm 
Radius = 12cm
Hence, the radius of cone is 12cm

252 = 72 + h2
252 - 72 = h2
625 – 49 = h2
576 = h2
√576 = h
h = 24
Volume of a right circular cone = 1/3πr2h
Volume of a right circular cone = 1/3 × 22/7 × (7)2 × 24

l2 = (5x)2 + (12x)2
l2 = 25x2 + 144x2
l2 = 169x2
l = 13x
Volume of cone = 314 m3
1/3 πr2 h = 314
1/3 × 3.14 × (25x2) × (12x) = 314
25x2 × 12x = 314 × 3 × 3.14
300x3 = 314 × 3 × 3.14

Capacity of conical vessel is 3.3 litres 
Change litres in centimetres = 3.3 litres × 1000 = 3300 cm3
Volume of cone = 1/3 πr2h
3300 = 1/3 × 22/7 × r2 × 3.5
3300 = 1/3 × 22 × r2 × 0.5
(3300 × 3)/(22 × 0.5) = r2
900 = r
r2 = √900
r = 30
